Well, this'll be... controversial? Maybe? We'll have to see... Next up, we've got either Brother Ali or Homebody Sandman - ...

At this point, I've given up having expectations for Earl Sweatshirt.  Granted, I think we all did with Some Rap Songs , a discordan...

Well, this was... tough to talk about. And since I'm not lavishing it with praise I expect there to be backlash, but whatever, I can ...

So I've always struggled a bit with how to properly evaluate Earl Sweatshirt - or indeed, how much I can call myself a fan. Don't ...

Yeah, I knew this review would be controversial... but hey, it happens, I've got to be honest. Next up, Judas Priest - stay tuned!

I'm genuinely surprised it's taken me this long to talk about Young Fathers at all. It's not like I wasn't aware the group...

Yeah, I wanted to talk about this... and while it's not his best - again - it's still worth hearing, if only because the sound is...

So nearly every review of this record I've seen starts with a brief story of Bobby Jameson, a singer-songwriter in the mid-60s who was...

Kind of a disappointment, I admit... but hey, I'll listen to Ty Segall any day, this had promise. Next up, though, is Deaf Havana.....

It seems like Ty Segall has done more in the past ten years than several artists do in their entire careers. Starting from the pits of gar...

Well, this was actually a fair bit of fun. It's not as strong as Celebration Rock , but still, if you're a fan, you'll dig th...

So here's a confession about me: I didn't really cut loose or run wild in high school.  I know, that's totally shocking, b...

This record took a lot  to digest, but overall, damn solid release. Definitely happy I covered it. Next up, though, is that Lacuna Coil...

Let me propose a hypothetical scenario. You're a boss of a fairly well-regarded independent record label - especially considering you ...

Man, I was expecting more out of this. Still decent, but it should have been great. Next up, Savages - and giving the mixed buzz, I...

Ty Segall unsettles me. And I say that as a fan of the guy, starting when I dug deeply into his discography to cover his 2014 record M...
